Erasing Ghost Funds from Mining Reclamation Rules
Published Date: 11/24/2025
Rule
Summary
This new rule wipes out old references to 'prior balance replacement funds'—money that was supposed to help States and Tribes but never actually got approved by Congress before 2007. If you’re part of a State or Tribal mining program, this cleanup means clearer rules with no impact on your current funding. The change kicks in January 23, 2026, unless folks send in big objections by December 24, 2025.
